Erm...so this is my first attempt at reading twincest. I am drawn to taboo and provocative subjects; maybe it's my masochistic tendencies? Who knows...I did however learn that, nnnnyeah, I'm not really into this kind of thing. It doesn't really repulse me in any way, but there's nothing enthralling about it either. Anyway, on to the book itself...

When Gabriel was 18 he came out to his parents. They threw him out, but worst of all, his twin brother Tristan stood quietly by their father' More...

This is not the first twincest story I read by Sage Whistler and now like before I was warned on the Taboo nature of it... strange to say, I have more problem to read about BDSM stories or on non-con sex than about twincest, actually I don't have any "squeaking" feeling about it. Let's be clear, probably it's like so since we are talking of a male on male twincest, so no worries about possible genetic trouble for the progeny... see how odd my mind is? I'm not tickled by gender prejudic More...

When Sage Whistler posted on her site that this publication had been accepted by Total-e-Bound, I was excited beyond belief! I'd read Torn and was madly in love with her twincest stories and wanted more. I'm a twincest whore and will not deny it. Taboo story? Bring it on!

Summary: Sometimes bravery and love are one and the same.

Gabriel and Tristan Stalling parted ways seven years ago when their father kicked Gabriel out of the house for being gay. The years that passed we

Most twincest stories are an excuse for perversion or a lewd menage. This one shows identical twins who genuinely fall in love with each other in a way that makes you sympathize with and root for them. This isn't page after page of sex scenes without a plot. They are happy just to be together in the same room even without mauling the other.

Twincest is my kink especially when it shows that they are in love and no one is being abused, used or humiliated by the other.

Tristan and Gabriel are seperated by family loyalties when Gabriel came out of the closet. The twins are seperated for seven years before circumstances bring them back to together and they struggle (shortly) with their attraction. It is a sweet love story without it being uncomfortable. I was disappointed that Tristan didn't come out to his mother and that there wasn't more conversation between mother and sons other than gernalizations. All in all, I liked it.

Certainly not my cup of tea.
I gave up on it after having read ca. 70% of the book.

First, I must admit that twincest/incest isn't anything I would read again. I'm not really repulsed by it, but in my opinion incest of any kind is not very understandable (except in the case of two siblings not knowing of one another, meeting and falling in love by chance...).

Growing up together in a healthy environment usually doesn't "lead to" siblings desiring each other i More...

This is the first twincest book I've read, and I hate to admit but I loved this book. It is really a beautiful love story which had me almost wishing that twincest was not taboo and for a happy ever after for these two twins.

Lovely relationship dynamics. The relationship did not focus on the taboo, but on the emotions between the two brothers and their unconditional love.

A not too memorable gay male romance. The fact that it is between brothers is not enough to pull it from the other unremarkable m-m romances.

3.75 stars. A nice twin story about taboos, acceptance, and second chances.

I wanted to hate the twincest - unsure if I could handle it - but their love is so tender, sweet, and hot. This taboo topic was beautifully written. The characters were real, both very different, and yet complimentary as close brothers should be.

Broken, by Sage Whistler, did nothing for me. I didn't have a problem with the subject matter, twincest, but I thought that the story lacked any true drama or compassion for the two MC. The story was flat and I found that I was counting down the pages left to read.

I give Broken two stars.

Now this is twincest done right. The characters were fully developed. Their relationship and conflicted feelings felt real. Plus the sex was really hot. All around a great read, it's just plain fluffy fun. :)
